Source in FM claim PM will work to halt EU decision

A source with the Foreign Ministry claimed that the EU passed on a draft of the decision to Israel only at the beginning of last week and requested a response within five days.

"We think that the majority of Europe's foreign ministers were not involved. In the past, there was a general decision by the ministers, but what happened here was decision taken by the (European) commission. Netanyahu will demand clarifications from (Catherine) Ashton and will work to block the move," the source said. (Attila Somfavli)
